Need Help replacing a Steam Trap

j1smi48 · September 20

Hi there!

I am replacing a Steam trap that failed and I nee help finding the right language for replacement. Here is a picture of the steam trap:

There are no identifying marks on the trap itself. I think they have been lost to time.

Take another picture so we can see the top of the cover as well. Take the dimensions. Send both pictures and dimensions to Tunstall in Chicopee, MA and they'll get you set.

Often to just freshen up the trap you just take the top cover off to replace the internal capsule or cage unit. Removing the whole trap is more unnecessary work. Sometimes the cover has to be changed too to accommodate the new capsule / cage unit.

If you choose to change the whole trap the Spud (Red arrow) needs to be changed too, so it matches the new trap and does not leak. This may require a spud wrench.
